Topic: Worst movie you have ever seen? (Read 15024 times)

Utterly disgusting and deplorable. It has been the only film where I wanted to walk out on and wish I did. The brutal dismemberment of the cast, relentless gore...it was all so mind numbing and appaling.

Unfortunately I have developed minor sociopathic tendencies (namely lack of guilt) as of late, which I am in the process of dispelling, but it was just too much for me.

And to think I was so desensitized to grotesqueness, I guess I am not...and thank God for that.

“There is your brother, naked, crying, and you stand there confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering.”

The background story is so incredibly well crafted, including pseudo-history/documentaries/support, that I went in with high expectations of a good scare. What a damp squib - and it had nothing to do with the footage quality.

'Evil isn't the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as evil, maybe more so, and it's a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against stupid. That might actually make a difference.'~Harry Dresden

That's difficult, because I don't go to the theater much, and so don't find myself feeling the need to sit through a bad movie. If I decide a movie sucks I move on to something else on Netflix. I guess if I had to give one that I hated, but actually watched the whole way through, it'd be Malicious. The best part of the movie was the discovery that the lovely Molly Ringwald had some very nice breasts (what? I was 18 and single... cut me some slack). Other than that watching the movie was agonizing.

It may be the worst movie of all time, but it's so bad that it's good. Worth watching over and over with a beer, some pizza, and good friends.

Napoleon Dynamite. It took me over 5 hours to get through this monstrosity.

A girl I was dating at the time saw this in the video store and said that she'd heard good things about it. No more than 10 or 15 minutes into it, we turned it off and decided to watch PBS' annual pledge drive instead. Let that sink in.

Seriously, what an awful excuse for a movie.

I didn't watch after just seeing the advertisements. Appears that was a smart move.

Of course, I watched this R-rated movie as a teenager with an adult uncle who made my presence at the theater legal. Why he took me to waste my time at this movie I'll never know. I guess we were there to watch RoboCop, and this movie, The Believers, was just something more to watch while we were there.

Maybe not the worst I've ever seen but the worst most recent one: Prestige with Hugh Jackman. About 20 min. into it, I asked my husband, "Do you know what's going on? Are you following this?" We turned it off.

"If but ten of us lead a holy life, we shall kindle a fire which shall light up the entire city."

Anthony Burgess hated the film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange and later in life repudiated the book, saying that he wrote it in three weeks because he needed money. American editions of the book excluded the final chapter in which the protaganist/anti-hero decided to end his violent ways because publishers thought American readers wouldn’t like it; the film was based on the redacted American text.

All of that is to say that I didn’t care for the movie despite its cult status and Kubrick pedigree.

Blessed Nazarius practiced the ascetic life. His clothes were tattered. He wore his shoes without removing them for six years.

Off the top of my head, and none of these fit the "so bad it's good" category:

Dune.

I saw this on HBO once and decided to watch it since a few of my friends acted shocked when I said I had never seen it. They gave me the impression that it was a classic that no one "cool" would go through life without watching and appreciating.

"'Til There Was You." I think it was out sometime in the late 1990s. I hardly ever walk out of movies - if it gets bad, I just concentrate on the popcorn - but I walked out of this one halfway through. A would-be comedy with a dull plot, dull acting and no laughs.

The original "Evil Dead." Don't know which was worse, the scene where the tree rapes one of the actresses, or the cheering audience.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

People actually cheered? Awful. But yeah one of the girls gets raped too but I think people chuckled at the sense of utter disbelief.

The difference here is the original Evil Dead was bit of a joke with the terrible set design it was hardly realistic.

What's more surprising is you going to a movie theater! LOL.

I bet you like Indy Jones with the map sequences showing his travels to different parts of the world.

“There is your brother, naked, crying, and you stand there confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering.”

The only film ever I actually stopped watching in the middle. I was a teen then, maybe today my experience of it would be different. At that time though, it stroke me as *the* model for presumptious European brainy self-styled "artsy" movies where vain people think that registering their conturbed souls in images can be called art. It was like watching a spoiled boy brag for half an hour on how intelligent he is. Said that, there are some art movies that are really artistic. The problem is with this one really. The only thing I feel when I remember this movie is "vergonha alheia". I don't know if there is an English equivalent to that expression, but it means the shame that you feel when you watch a person doing something shameful without noticing the ridiculous of the thing itself, as if you were doing the ridiculous thing yourself. You feel the shame the person should be feeling but is just too clueless to feel it.

Many Energies, 3 Persons, 2 Natures, 1 God, 1 Church, 1 Baptism, and 1 Cup. The Son begotten only from the Father, the Spirit proceeding only from the Father, Each glorifying the Other. The Son sends the Spirit, the Spirit Reveals the Son, the Father is seen in the Son. The Spirit spoke through the Prophets and Fathers and does so even today.

Besides the Dances With Wolves/Pochantas story knock-off (and you are kidding yourself if you think Cameron is a good writer), there is a lot of problems at the heart of the story. Much of it is actually racist to some degree.

But you know, much like Titanic, I was caught up in the sweeping grandeur of it all and it was one of the few movies that truly transported me to a world where I could almost touch it.

It was bizarre, but it is a very smooth film and honestly besides its shortcomings, I kinda liked it. Bit of a guilty pleasure.

Do not be cast down over the struggle - the Lord loves a brave warrior. The Lord loves the soul that is valiant.

Honestly the retread of Alien throughout the film made me question if Rid has nothing left in the creative tank. I thought the movie was photographically gorgeous, but that abortion scene was very jarring.

Movies are getting more exploitative and repulsive just for the sake of it rather than adding any value.

Maybe I'm a closet conservative.
